Residual is actually 57% so they’re showing it based on net cap cost which is weird but whatever, it’s a decent enough deal.

What I don’t understand however is why Mercedes sells any car that takes 7.1 seconds to get to 60mph in 2020. I love the look of the GLE but a 4 banger just isn’t enough power for a 64k car in this case.

Obviously, as @max_g said…buyers don’t care. If it was important to them, then the GLE would be collecting dust on dealer’s lots. It’s also a good way for MB to try and upsell the V6 for thousands more $$$

I don’t know what the take rate is on the V6 vs the I4 but I see way more I4 on the road than V6 models.

I just took delivery of a 2020 GLE 350 4matic and it is an incredibly well built (solid as a tank) vehicle. I had a 2017 E300 with the turbo 4 for 37K miles and it had good performance. Sorry but the Telluride is not in the same class, albeit a very nice vehicle.

Yeah. All this talk of 0 to 60… my wife can careless about that. She just likes MBUX system and how “smooth” the care drives compared to the fast cars lol. To each their own… I just go get what my wife want and use this forum to get it with a decent deal. Like others have pointed out… this is a Colorado deal not California. She’s happy so I’m happy. Thank you everyone for the comments!

I check 5 dealers in the southeast and the best discount I could find was about $2k off MSRP before adding back dealer fee. This deal seems solid just based on the dealer discount. Anyone aware of a dealer on the east coast / southeast that would do a deal like this?
